Pescado Al Ajillo (Fish in Garlic Sauce)

Garlic is one of my favorite foods. If you are a garlic lover, like me, you have to try this dish.

Pescado al Ajillo is a popular dish on the Atlantic Coast of Colombia. I went to Cartagena de Indias on vacation about fifteen years ago. We visited a small family restaurant that specialized in traditional Colombian food and I ate robalo al ajillo with patacones. It was absolutely fantastic!

I made my fish with garlic sauce using swordfish, but you can use any other firm white fish fillets, such as snapper, cod, flounder, sea bass, halibut or tilapia. They will all work beautifully for this dish.

I think I am closely related to Rachael Ray on this one, She says and so do I; “I(we) eat so much garlic that it oozes out of our pores and I (we) smell like garlic all the time” also to quote her ” two garlic lovers cancel each other out”. So I think this dish is perfect for us. I am always wondering about new ways to serve fish. Thanks.

I can always count on you to present such fabulous recipes! This garlic sauce is just the kind of versatile flavor that I’d love to try with fish and other meats. I am bookmarking this (I’ve had to create a separate folder just for all of your dishes that I have to try!)

I’m 16 years old and I actually made this recipe and served it over BBQ fish. It was good, but probably could use more seasoning and more garlic. This was my first try with this, so I hope to make it better in the future.
